In a twist for the British music scene, Bob Vylan, a punk rap duo, faces a U.S. ban. Their pro-Palestinian chants at Glastonbury, including calls against the Israeli Defense Forces, led the U.S. State Department to revoke their visas.
The U.S. Deputy Secretary of State noted the ban aligns with a stance against visitors glorifying violence. This raises debates over free speech, but foreign nationals lack First Amendment protections. While some criticize the ban as extreme, others see it as necessary for national security.
